As the footsteps outside faded into the distance, Lin Yuwei opened the door and saw a white-haired figure rushing towards the tractor. She sighed and silently prayed that Wu Qiaoqiao would recover soon, since Wu Qiaoqiao was the female educated youth she had gotten along with best here.

Wu Qiaoqiao came last year. Due to health reasons, she fell into the river on her way here and was rescued by Liu Mingfeng, who happened to be visiting relatives. After being rescued, she was sent directly to Zhao Xiuxiang's place for care. At that time, she had already rented a house from Zhao Xiuxiang's family, so Lin Yuwei would occasionally go over to help take care of her. That's how the two met.

Later, after the news of Wu Qiaoqiao and Liu Mingfeng's marriage spread, Lin Yuwei went to ask Wu Qiaoqiao if she wanted to marry him because Liu Mingfeng saved her, or because of the gossip in the village. Lin Yuwei still remembers the expression on Wu Qiaoqiao's face at that time. Wu Qiaoqiao smiled gently and said that she wanted a home. After spending a month together, she felt that Liu Mingfeng was not bad. Moreover, he had no parents, so she didn't have to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. His only sister was married, so she didn't have to worry about her sister-in-law being difficult. In addition, Liu Mingfeng's uncle and aunt were also quite nice.

It was only then that Lin Yuwei learned that Wu Qiaoqiao's parents had not been around since she was a child, but had grown up with her maternal grandparents. Her parents passed away when she was three years old, and her paternal grandparents passed away one after another during her childhood. The reason she was sent to the countryside was because her maternal grandfather had arranged it for her before he passed away. So, while for others, marrying into a rural family meant they could not return to the city, it didn't matter to Qiaoqiao.

But who knows? Liu Mingfeng is a good person; he always sends his monthly salary back on time. His two uncles and aunts are both very nice. Only his sister-in-law is a complicated person, and this time she's even caused such a big incident. Thinking of this, Lin Yuwei stopped thinking about it and went inside to get her basket to go up the mountain to see if she could hunt any wild game. She also planned to visit Qiaoqiao in the hospital in a couple of days.

When Zhao Xiuxiang arrived at the tractor, two police officers and Liu Mancang, who was driving the tractor, were already waiting there. With the help of the two police officers and Liu Mancang, Zhao Xiuxiang climbed onto the tractor. Mancang started the tractor and drove off. However, just as the tractor left the village, it was stopped by someone behind it.

"Wait, wait for me! Fifth Aunt, Brother Mancang, wait for me!"

Hearing the shouts, Liu Mancang stopped the tractor. The four men turned around and saw a young man of about 18 or 19 running towards them. The two policemen did not recognize him, but Zhao Xiuxiang and Liu Mancang did. This young man was the second son of Liu Mingfeng's aunt, Liu Mengmeng.

During the war years, Liu Mengmeng and her husband Feng Guoqiang formed a revolutionary friendship. They later had three sons and two daughters. Their eldest son, Feng Minghao, joined the army at a young age. Their second son, Feng Mingran, and eldest daughter, Feng Mingle, are twins. Last year, when it was time for educated youth to go to the countryside, it was uncertain which one would go. However, when the cultural troupe was recruiting, Feng Mingran was not interested in the work of the cultural troupe and did not want his sister to go to the countryside, so he went instead. Liu Mengmeng was worried about him, so she arranged for her son to go to the countryside in her hometown, Liujiatun.

At this moment, Feng Mingran also learned about what had happened at his cousin Mingfeng's house. Knowing that his fifth aunt was going to take care of his cousin's wife, he went directly to the brigade leader to ask for leave. However, by the time he finished asking for leave, the tractor had already driven away. He had no choice but to chase after it, shouting as he went. Fortunately, the tractor wasn't going very fast, otherwise Feng Mingran felt like he was about to suffocate.

After Feng Mingran climbed onto the tractor, Liu Mancang started the tractor and drove towards the town, because they still had to pick up Liu Mingxin. Zhao Xiuxiang looked at her nephew who had climbed onto the vehicle and asked him if he had asked the brigade leader for leave. After learning that he had already asked for leave, she didn't say anything.

Soon, the tractor chugged to a stop in town, pulling up in front of a courtyard. Children playing in the yard saw the tractor and two people getting off. Just then, Liu Mingxin's two sons also saw them and excitedly ran over, circling around Zhao Xiuxiang and Feng Mingran.

"Fifth Aunt, Uncle Ran, you've arrived."

Zhao Xiuxiang patted the heads of the two children circling around her and asked them if Liu Mingxin was there. Knowing that Liu Mingxin was off today and was washing clothes in the yard, Zhao Xiuxiang went straight in. Liu Mingxin, who was washing clothes in the yard, saw his fifth aunt come in and quickly stood up, wiped his hands on his clothes and went up to ask.

"Fifth Aunt, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"

Before Zhao Xiuxiang could answer, an old woman came out of the house. She was Liu Mingxin's mother-in-law. As soon as she saw Zhao Xiuxiang, she hurried over to greet her.

"Auntie, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"

"Hello, mother-in-law, I'm here to talk to Mingxin about something."

After greeting Liu Mingxin's mother-in-law, Zhao Xiuxiang recounted what had happened at home. However, she didn't mention Liu Mingfeng's injury. She only said that Cai Shufen, along with her mother and brothers, had come to Mingshan's house to collect things and money, and had even assaulted Wu Qiaoqiao. Upon hearing this, Wu Mingxin immediately began to curse loudly. It's important to know that her sister-in-law was pregnant; a moment's inattention could have been fatal. While she was cursing, her mother-in-law, Wang Jinhua, slapped Liu Mingxing on the back.

"What are you still cursing about here? Hurry up and go inside to pack your things, get the money and tickets, and go to the hospital with your fifth aunt to take care of your sister-in-law. You don't need to worry about things at home, I'll take care of them."

"Oh, oh, okay, Mom, I'm leaving the child in your care. You can have Guoliang wash these clothes later."

Liu Mingxing only realized it wasn't the time to scold her mother-in-law after hearing her words. She turned around and ran towards their room, talking to her mother-in-law as she ran. Then Wang Jinhua and Zhao Xiuxiang heard a series of crackling noises coming from inside. Zhao Xiuxiang and Wang Jinhua looked at each other and both gave each other an awkward but polite smile. They both felt that their own daughter was really embarrassing.
